Been to Starbucks a few times; personally I don't think their beverages are exceptionally good or anything. Usually I just go to my uni cafe or the little coffee stand near my uni library [for convenience].

The very existence of flamethrowers proves that sometime, somewhere, someone said to themselves, “You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I’m just not close enough to get the job done.”

i work at starbucks in the states..
yes, you do get free drinks, but the 'rule' says, only when you are working, or 30 min before or after work. you also get 30% off discount.. a pound of free coffee a week, or a box of tea.. good benefits.. tips..
but, you could be constantly dealing with customers, and some of them are just annoying...
an iced triple grande vanilla soy latte sounds good ~
